Man has been in search for the so-called fountain of youth because of man's inherent desire to always look young.
However, aging progresses and its signs become evident as we approach thirty and so we find every possible means to keep our youthful appearance and the zest of life that comes with youth.
The cosmetic industry lures us into buying expensive creams that promises to reverse aging, but in reality the aging process is controlled by the human growth hormone (HGH).
  The Quest for the Fountain of Youth  The human growth hormone was identified over fifty years ago by medical researchers when they were investigating dwarfism.
They found that if the bloodstream has sufficient amounts of HGH, growth would proceed normally.
HGH deficiency would result when the body has insufficient levels of HGH.
In order to treat growth issues, HGH was extracted from cadavers.
But because the cadaver-derived HGH causes a certain disease, a synthetic version of the hormone was successfully developed in 1980s.
  The groundbreaking results of the 1990 Rudman study showed dramatic findings about human growth hormone.
Rudman hypothesized the changes in body process which is apparent staring age 30 is linked to the decline of specific hormones.
In this study, Dr.
Rudman and his colleagues found that men over sixty who received injections of HGH showed characteristics of young age.
They noted that the participants lost weight, but gained muscle mass.
They also exhibited increase energy and their facial lines and wrinkles began to fade.
Immediately thereafter, the market was flooded with products that claim to stimulate production of HGH by the pituitary gland.
Most of these products do not really deliver their promise.
  Characteristics of the Human Growth Hormone  Human growth hormone is composed of 191 amino acids.
Its structure is easily altered during isolation, thus it duplicating the substances outside the body is a difficult task.
Administration of human growth hormone through injections is the closest one gets in increasing the levels of natural HGH.
However, the cost of injections and the unstable nature of the product put them out of reach for most people.
  Stimulators of the human growth hormone have been introduced.
These HGH stimulators serve in boosting the natural production of human growth hormone by the pituitary gland.
However, it is important that the product be formulated with the same amino acids found in the natural HGH for it to be effective.
There is one product that contains some of the same essential growth factors and amino acids found in natural human growth hormone.
Sytropin is formulated so it bypasses the digestive system so all the ingredients interact with the pituitary gland.
  Sytropin is administered orally.
As an HGH stimulator, Sytropin stimulates increased production by the pituitary gland.
Increasing levels of HGH in the bloodstream then results in biological changes that lead to reversal of the conditions related to aging including increase in lean muscle mass and bone density, decrease body fat and better skin texture.
Several studies have provided convincing evidence that human growth hormone is responsible for normal body growth and has a direct impact on aging.
